3、enance and rehabilitation promotes procedures appropriate to groundwatermonitoring wells installed to evaluate the extent and nature of contamination, progress of remediation,and for long-term monitoring of either water quality or water level.1. Scope Scope*1.1 This guide covers an approach to selec
4、ting and implementing a well maintenance and rehabilitation program forgroundwater monitoring wells. It provides information on symptoms of problems or deficiencies that indicate the need formaintenance and rehabilitation. It is limited to monitoring wells, that are designed and operated to provide
5、access to, representativewater samples from, and information about the hydraulic properties of the saturated subsurface while minimizing impact on themonitored zone. Some methods described herein may apply to other types of wells although the range of maintenance andrehabilitation treatment methods
6、suitable for monitoring wells is more restricted than for other types of wells. Monitoring wellsinclude their associated pumps and surface equipment.1.2 This guide is affected by governmental regulations and by site specific geological, hydrogeological, geochemical,climatological, and biological con

Significance and Us
32、e4.1 The process of operating any engineered system, such as monitoring wells, includes active maintenance to prevent, mitigate,or reverse deterioration. Lack of or improper maintenance can lead to well performance deficiencies (physical problems) or samplequality degradation (chemical problems). Th
33、ese problems are intrinsic to monitoring wells, which are often left idle for longperiods of time (as long as a year), installed in non-aquifer materials, and installed to evaluate contamination that can cause locallyanomalous hydrogeochemical conditions. The typical solutions for these physical and
34、 chemical problems that would be appliedby owners and operators of water supply, dewatering, recharge, and other wells may not be appropriate for monitoring wellsbecause of the need to minimize their impact on the conditions that monitoring wells were installed to evaluate.4.2 This guide covers acti
35、ons and procedures, but is not an encyclopedic guide to well maintenance. Well maintenance planningand execution is highly site and well specific.4.3 The design of maintenance and rehabilitation programs and the identification of the need for rehabilitation should be basedon objective observation an
36、d testing, and by individuals knowledgeable and experienced in well maintenance and rehabilitation.Users of this guide are encouraged to consult the references provided.4.4 For additional information see Test Methods D1889, D4412, D5472, D7726 and Guides D4448, D5254, D5521, D5409,D5410 and D5474.NO
37、TE 1The quality of the result produced by this standard is dependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and the suitability of theequipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competent and objectivetesting/samplin
38、g/inspection/etc. Users of this standard are cautioned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not in itself assure reliable results. Reliableresults depend on many factors; Practice D3740 provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.Practice D3740 was developed for agencies engaged in the
39、testing and/or inspection of soils and rock. As such, it is not totally applicable to agenciesperforming this practice. However, user of this practice should recognize that the framework of Practice D3740 is appropriate for evaluating the qualityof an agency performing this practice. Currently there
40、 is no known qualifying national authority that inspects agencies that perform this practice.5. Well Performance Deficiencies5.1 Proper well design, installation, and development can minimize well performance deficiencies that result in the need formaintenance and rehabilitation. Practice D5092 and
41、Guide D5521 should be consulted. Performance deficiencies include: sand,silt, and clay infiltration; low yield; slow responses to changes in groundwater elevations; and loss of production.5.2 Preventable Causes of Poor Well Performance:5.2.1 Inappropriate well location or screened interval. These ma

45、 design or installation, incomplete development, screen corrosion, orcollapse of filterpack. filter pack. In rock wells, causes include the presence of fine material in fractures. The presence of sand, silt,or clay can result in pump and equipment wear and plugging, turbid samples, filterpack filter

Sample Quality Degradation6.1 All of the preceding physical well performance deficiencies can result in sample quality degradation by dilution,cross-contamination, or entrainment of solid material in water samples. In addition, chemical and biological activity can bothdegrade well performance and sample quality. Any change in well or aquifer chemistry that results from the presence of the wellcan interfere with accurate characterization of a site.6.2 Physical IndicatorsChemica
